Notes - Connecting Links and Living Fossils in Biology

Connecting Links
 Living + nonliving = virus
 Protozoa + porifera = Proteospongia
 Plant + animal = Euglena
 Protozoa + Metazoa = Xenoturbella + Nemertodema
 Annelida + Mollusca = Neoplina
 Protochordata + Vertebra = Ainiktozoan
 Fish + Land vertebrate = Coelocanthus
 Amphibia + Reptile = Seymouria
 Arthropoda + Annelids = Peripatus
 Bony fish + Amphibia = lung fish
 Fish + tetrapods = Latemaria
 Bird + reptile = archaeopteryx.
 Coerentrate + Platyhelminthes = Ctenoplana
 Echinoderm + Chordate –Balanoglossus
 Reptiles + mammals = Duck Billed Platypus, Spring Ant Eater
 Aquatic + land plants = Fritschiella

Living Fossils
 Limulus – Arthropoda

 Plastasterias – Echinodermata
 Lamprey – Cyclostomata – Chordate
 Latimeria – oldest living fish
 Sphendon – reptilian
 Echidna – Mammalia
 Peripatus – Arthropod
